What is your teaching philosophy?
My emphasis is on creative (and hopefully fun) learning techniques that engage my student and help him or her confront problem-solving in a way that best suits his or her learning style.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I would first listen to the student's self-assessment of what he or she is struggling with in a particular subject. I would then provide sample problems relevant to those problem areas and observe where the student is encountering difficulties. I would then work with the student to address the issues.
